I’m stuck! Have you ever had that feeling? You’re on to something. You just know it’s something that you’re meant to do. You’re passionate about it, you wake up every day and take steps to move your dream forward. But it’s getting tougher. With each step forward, your shoes are getting stuck in the mud.
